“Installing a bunch of applications at once on Windows can be annoying. Linux users have long used package managers to accomplish this with far greater ease—as have some Mac users. Using a package manager, you can type a single command to install as many different applications as you want. And, it turns out, Windows comes with a package manager. It’s called Winget.”
I just wonder then why this is such a well-kept secret in the Windows world. I suppose, though, many users just accept the status quo, because without having tried other OS’s, one is really not going to know that the status quo is not the best that there is.
What used to happen on my Windows laptop was, as soon as I wanted to run an app I had not used for a while, it would tell me on start up that it needed to be updated (very irritating). Updates are best done as soon as they are released, as many are also security patch updates.
